Most programming languages have a nice delineation between a dictionary and an object but they are one and the same in JS and that'll throw plenty of traditional programmers for a loop.

To be fair Python has the concept of "everything is a dictionary" running pretty deep in its DNA. To a certain extent everything in Python is syntactic sugar over dictionaries.

Yeah, but that's implementation. Top level syntax, an object and dictionary are distinct.
